## Using the API directly

If you are not using `@zeit/integration-utils` utility, you can use the ZEIT API directly. See the following API reference documentation for how to utilize it:

- [Creating and Using Secrets](/docs/api/#endpoints/secrets)
- [Adding a New Environment Variable to a Project](/docs/api/#endpoints/projects/create-project-environment-variables)
